Shayla + Gregory / High Museum & Atlanta Skyline Engagement

I’m sure that we’ve all heard, “opposites attract”, right? From my experience, that’s very true, but at the same time, you gotta have a lot in common too. I love that Shayla + Gregory incorporated something that they love into their engagement shoot.

Ngoc + Rick / The Engine Room Wedding

Ok just how many wedding venues are there in just the Atlanta area alone? Just when we think we’ve been to all of them, we have to think again! It was our first time at the Engine room and it had such a neat industrial look. I especially loved the outdoor patio area where they had the cocktail hour.

Veronique + Joshua / W Midtown & The Temple Atlanta Wedding

We spend our lives trying to perfect everything we do, what we look like, who we are… But, the reality and the truth is, perfection doesn’t exist. It’s a goal that we will never accomplish. When it comes to weddings, we spend way too much time trying to plan a perfect one.

I just love engagement portraits because it gives us a chance to get to know our couples apart from the wedding day rush. Our experience with Eunice + Clement at their engagement session made us look forward to their wedding day so much.

Christine + Eugene / The Brickyard Marietta Square Wedding

After shooting hundreds of weddings over the years, there is one thing that’s for sure and it’s the fact that every wedding is different. Every wedding has its pros and cons, joys and challenges just like life itself. Wedding planning is one of the most stressful things that a couple has to go through together, and it’s unique in that this must be done before they are actually married!

Larshanae + Cedric / Ashton Gardens Atlanta Wedding

You know, there are some really smart people out there… the ideas that people have fascinate me! Like Uber… Airbnb… what an amazing business concept, right? Like, I would have never even thought of something like that! Well, Shanae said that she got an Airbnb to get ready with her bridal party, so I was curious as to what this place that she chose was going to look like!

Melinda + Ryan / Savannah's Cathedral of St. John the Baptist & Savannah Country Club Wedding

Savannah, GA... the only memory I have of this place was when I was in high school, my mom and her friends wanted to go spontaneously from August, GA to get some fresh seafood.  So, we got there at night, had dinner and drove back!  So, I never got to see anything in daylight..

You're engaged.  AWESOME! Now what?  Wedding planning!  How do you do that, you ask?  Where do you start?  There are books after books and blogs after blogs on how to do this correctly.  We've been there... we know!

Grace + Russell / Delta Plane Museum Engagement

Some people have the gift of making you feel like family... To be able to make a total stranger feel like you've known them for years is something that you can't really teach.  It just comes naturally... That is something that Grace + Russell have - I call it magical.  So, how do we know them?

So, is the world big or small?  Because there's a saying, "It's a big world out there" and then people say, "It's a small world..." So, which is it?  ;)  Well, for this story, it's a small world.  We got referred to Gabby + Phanna from one of other brides and then when they came to the shoot, they told us another crazy story!
